I think they are all teasing so hard and looking cutest. Even buff Akihiko and tsundere Uenoyama look tender....

Too bad they didn't make Shizu 😭😭😭, instead they gave Hiiragi a drink 😂

So bratty Hiiragi is the third wheel.....🎼🎵 all by myself....🎶

Discussion i made a poem of yuki and mafuyu

11 Upvotes

so uh, since i can't possibly rewatch it again for my own sanity and mental well-being, i just made a poem solely on what i still feel on the show. i also posted this on hellopoetry.com so you can easily see it from there! enjoy! btw this is written in Mafuyu's POV, so yeah 💔💔💔

My Snow in My Winter

a hum was left echoing
in the shade of spring
that still lingers
in the air of winter.

my fingers
gently sliding through the fret
of my guitar;
a smile playing on my lips.

through the window,
the sun shines through.
vibrant and warm,
yet the coldness of winter mixes with it.

i held your guitar in my arms,
my fingers gently sliding
along the frets,
until the memory of you comes rushing in.

i wonder if the shore
we've been to
is still open to me today.

i wonder if our footprints
are still there,
imprinted on the sand
with your faint voice lingering in the air of winter.

i wonder if
you're looking down on me up there.

and see me singing a song
i wrote
with your guitar.

would you be proud of me?

Akiharu with a giant squid 🦑 😂

Caption this, I am not sure what is going on here.

Is Haruki annoyed that he has to share the squid skewer BUT that is not him. Haruki is the type of person that would even share his last piece of bread!

Or could Akihiko be making some lewd remarks like "You are going to put that in your mouth?" 😈

Either way I am a sucker for men in yukata 🫰

Given tattoos?

Post image
320 Upvotes

Hey friends! I wanted to share my most recent tattoo that I got with people that would appreciate it :) I took this picture the day after I got it done and honestly I adore it ❤️ (and the fact that I got Uenoyama tattooed during his birth month is pure gold).
Anyways! If others have given tattoos I would love to see them. And if you’re planning on getting one I would love to know what you got planned!

(Since I consider tattoos pieces of art, I want to give credit to waifu_hell on insta who did this beautiful piece for me)


r/GivenAnime 7d ago

This time Im drawing Mafuyu. His head and eyes are rounder than Uenoyamas which are what make him cuter He has very fluffy and kinda messy hair which makes it very hard for me to draw. Also the angle of the guitar (Gibson Hollow reference was used) Hope

Loveeeee Kedama shaped sparklers.

Ugetsu looks like he is forced to be there 😂

I am not sure why they make Akihiko dresses like an Ojisan. He is usually the most stylish ones!

These hugs are rare but when it happens, it's amazing. My heart feels so full looking at them 😭. I love every little skinship that I can get from the boys.

I may have missed some other hugs, so please share if there is more.

Ahh I miss them so much!

GIVEN HOT TAKES?

Post image
245 Upvotes

I’m just going randomly asking for your hot takes. Let’s share our hot takes respectfully. Mine: Ueno is a green flag but was a bit unfair with Mafuyu in On the sea. I love Ueno and probably is my 2nd fav character but He really needed to communicate better with Mafuyu. In the OVA when Mafuyu was going to Kaji place to learn about music he got upset that Sato wasn’t answering his phone but whenever he got so busy with SYH and didn’t have the time to spend with Sato he did not made effort to talk about it, even after learning that was happening the same as when Yuki and Sato had the argument. Yeah they were waiting until the event for the song but Sato was going through a hard moment with a lot of self doubt… that could’ve ended bad.

My fanfiction

3 Upvotes

FYI because this is an all ages Subreddit I am no longer linking my fanfiction on this subreddit because the majority of my stories contain adult themes.

I’ll continue to link on the r/GivenManga subreddit because it is an NSFW subreddit. Of course, you can also find my stories linked to my AO3 account.

Thanks for your support to all my readers
